CANDIDATES RESPOND TO DAV QUESTIONS
Bush and Kerry

The Disabled American Veterans sent President George W. Bush and Sen. John F. Kerry the following questions:

  1. Mandatory Funding for VA Health Care: Do you support a fundamental change in the manner VA health care is funded? If so, how would your administration ensure its implementation? If not, why?
  2. Disabled Veterans Tax: Do you support provisions of concurrent receipt to veterans rated 40 percent or less and will your administration actively work to bring it about? Why or why not?
  3. Do you support elimination of the phase-in period for concurrent receipt? Why or why not?
  4. Making Veterans a National Priority: What specifically will your administration do to make veterans a national priority?
  5. Will your administration propose or support legislation to authorize VA to revise its premium schedule for SDVI to reflect mortality tables?
  6. Will your administration propose or support legislation to increase the face value of SDVI?
  7. Will your administration propose or support legislation to authorize concurrent receipt of SBP and DIC?
